Summary

The optical rotatory dispersion spectra of 16α-amino acids have been recorded over wave lengths down to 200 nm. The linear relationship between the molecular rotation in 0.1N HCl and the concentration permits the rapid and simple microdetermination of variousα-amino acids in the range of 0.2 to 500 mg/ml with an average recovery of 98%. The data on the molecular rotation of the various acids and their relation with the nature of the substituent groups are also presented.

Zusammenfassung

Die Spektren der optischen Rotations-Dispersion von 16α-Aminosäuren wurden bei Wellenlängen bis herunter auf 200 nm gemessen. Das lineare Verhältnis zwischen der molekularen Rotation in 0,1N HCl und der Konzentration ermöglicht die rasche und einfache Mikrobestimmung verschiedenerα-Aminosäuren zwischen 0,2 und 500 mg/ml mit durchschnittlich 98% Genauigkeit. Die Daten der molekularen Rotation der verschiedenen Aminosäuren und deren Abhängigkeit von der Art der Substituenten-Gruppen wurden ebenfalls angegeben.
